If you want to believe what you read on Facebook, it is your choice. Aqua planning is a very, very rare occurrence on regular road use. Believe me in the 100’s of collisions I have attended, it is seldom a factor. Most common factor excess speed and lack of concentration.
There is an arithmetic formula to tell you when it could occur. But for most tyre sizes and width and dimensions it occurs around 54 mph. Which if you want to experience and know how to counteract try a course on a skid pan would like all driver training is a far better and longer lasting investment.
In the Police we used to change the tyres of area cars and above when they reached 5mm of tread presumably you will be doing the same ?
